The Global CCS Institute is a Company limited by guarantee under the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act).  Under the Act, applicants commit to paying AUD$10 in the event that the Institute is wound up. This fee can be met through:

  • the Member guaranteeing that they will pay AUD$10 if the Institute is wound up and has insufficient funds; or
  • the Member agreeing to pay the amount of AUD$10 when they have been approved for Membership, on the basis it be held in trust by the Institute until such time as the Institute is wound up.
